Description

Tribehenin CAS NO 18641-57-1 is a high-purity, saturated triglyceride derived from behenic acid, serving as a critical functional ingredient in advanced formulations. Its primary value lies in its excellent stability, high melting point, and non-greasy texture, which are essential for creating premium, long-lasting products. This compound is indispensable for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking superior consistency and performance in their end products.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: A key structurant and emollient in lipsticks, solid perfumes, deodorant sticks, and anhydrous creams, providing a smooth application and enhanced product stability.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a lipidic excipient in controlled-release drug delivery systems and as a base for suppositories and ointments.
• Food Industry: Functions as a coating agent, release agent, or texturizer in confectionery and food supplements (subject to appropriate grade and regulatory approval).
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a lubricant and processing aid in plastics, resins, and other specialty chemical manufacturing processes.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in biochemical and material science research exploring lipid-based matrices.
